In a thin House at the very end of a Scre 3 ion we 111 %1 often find measures of considerable importance brought forward without saflicient heed be;.zig taken of their scope and tendency. We have Ftst had a notable instance of this in the India Medical Service Bill, which Nv -ELS attempted to be passed, bat was thrown out by a Mr. very small mejorit - l• HENNESSY and Mr. LONGFTELD 'did good ser v i ce a nd others in pointing out its irjurious tendency. Sir CUATILES WOOD e-py.eare to bare a special preference for brinqin every thing pr.srtainiag t o hi s forward dep;rtLnt when energies are exhausted, moTents brie., and the general feeling of th e political world is to ; et through the work that rema i ns w i th as !Attie delay and trouble as passible.. Wh e th er suca a time is the beat suited for careful consideration of Indian matters may be very much doubt e d. Sir CIIARLES WOOD probably thinks that his own edicts are so perfect that it would be idle to trouble the House with them a t a n earlier and busi er port i on of the session. The Bill in question, however, is cne Within the reach of every one's compr e h er ,„ Bien and experience, however little he may have studied the general aspect of Indian affairs. The want which i 3 felt in the Indian army is felt als) in th© regular army, and it is a want of such importance that public attention should at once be cajied to the matter. It appears that a , very great ,deficiency exists in the number of me dical officers for the Indian army. The Assistant. Surgeons at present obtain their appointments by competition according to the usual rule. It is generally found when public appointments are thus thrown open that the number of candidates very greatly exceeds the list of vacancies. Bat what is the case with the Indian medical service ? Sir CHARLES WOOD, in replying to Mr HENNESSY on Friday night, said that a return of the lest three examinations showed that for 90 vacancies there were only 72 candidates, of whom only 50 suc ceeded in passing, so that the supply of eighteen months has fallen short of the demand by forty 1 men. This is confirmed by Sir JOHN LAWRENCE, who states that the medical service in Bengal is short by 20 officers, and that the deficiency else where is still greater. And what is our Indian Secretary's cure for all this ? As he cannot get a proper supply of efficient men on his terms he proposes to atone for it by taking in the inefficient. Competitive examinations have proved, he says, a failure, and evidently he regards them as such, bee cause they deprived him of 22 out of the united number of candidates who presented themselves. He therefore brings forward a bill " to make pro vision for her MAJESTY'S Indian Forces, which is to empower the Secretary of State to make, from time to time, such regulations for the appointment of medical officers as he may think fit ; and to en able the Governors of the Indian provinces to do the same thing subject to his revision. This means that these authorities are to be allowed to put into the service men who could not have passed the teat of an examination. In a country where the exigencies of climate, the deficient sanitary arrange ments, and the ignorance and imprudence of Euro peans render our troops so especially' liable to sick ness, and demand unusual skill, intelNgence, and energy on the part of the medical officer, men are to be appointed who do not know their business. When we are always liable to the possibility of a war, or, at least, a brief campaign, such as that on the north-western frontier, the same incompetent assistants are to dress the wounds and amputate the limbs of our suffering soldiers. It is always blame able for a Government to allow or encourage the appointment of men to public offices who are unequal to their post, but in an instance like this to sanc tion the appointment of ignorant men is an act of the greatest cruelty. The horrors of war are surely great enough without any needless aggravation, but if an unskilled or ignorant medical officer is to attempt to relieve the misery of the sick and wounded, how ever great his wish to do good, he will probably lose the service a good many lives. There is another and much simpler mode of rectifying the discrepancy between the number of officers wanted and the number forthcoming. The medical branch of the service have, it is said, been harshly and unjustly treated ; they re. ceive a very illiberal remuneration, and are not allowed to occupy their proper position in the army. The profession, in consequence, declines to enter lists for these appointments. Its members are cer tainly numerous enough to supply every vacancy, and the eagerness with which a fixed appointment is generally sought after in our crowded professions shows how great must be the mistake or neglect on the part of the authorities, who have so thoroughly disgusted the members of this one with their ser vice. For the want which is becoming so serious in our Indian service is also largely felt in our general army, and consequently Sir CHARLES WOOD'S excuse that the principal object of his bill was to enable the assistant surgeons of the QUEEN'S arm to volunteer into the ladian service was little heeded. Coicnel NORTH remarked that so scarce were assistant surgeons is the regular army that the Government had been forced to extend the iir_rit of ago for ajr:gissicrifirst, to 23 13d af:erwards to ; while quite a new cli.ss had laie!y sprung up—acting assistant surgeons, men, we presume, who fufil the duties of assistant surgeons without being regularly qualified for the appointment. This is not a very hopeful source of supply for India, when we have not enough for England and else where. But Vie whole principle is in fault. If men are to be appointed to oGees of so much importance they ought to be properly qualified, and if the com petition be moderate and practical in its nature, it would never keep back those who ought to pass. But it is evident that the fault lies in the appoint ment and not in the examination, since not only the number of successful candidates, but the total number of applicants, fell far short of the list of vacancies. If the Government reformed their salaries and improved their position, there is little doubt the army would be as well supplied with Burgeons as with any other officers, but it is easier and cheaper to pass incompetent men. At least, it is apparently cheaper, for a soldier's life in India is too costly to be lightly trifled with. There are few more difficult tasks than to attempt the amelioration of the condition of the working classes. In the matter of their dwellings, more especially, there is ample scope for the exer cise of ingenuity and the practice of patience. So much must be done before any effectual end is gained, and the obstructions are so numerous, the opposition so continuous, that it sometimes seems an almost impossible task to make any progress in the complicated affair. It is very satisfactory to find that the company of which Lord STANLEY is Chairman, still prosecute their labours and keep up their exertions in the estimable undertaking in which they are engaged. Last Friday a meeting was held at the Mansion House, and the details are very well worth consideration. Mr. Alderman WATERLOW, the Deputy Chairman, presided in the absence of Lord STANLEY, and the report of the transactions of the company was read. It is very gratifying to find that the directors have " undiminished confidence in the success of the enterprise," and this notwithstanding the increased demand for labour and the high price of bricks has greatly augmented the cost of the dwellings. It is quite evident that the labours of this company represent a necessity of the times, they aro closely allied with the greatest principles and the greatest scandals of the age we live in. As day after day, and week after week, witnesses the structure of some immense building, or the design of some important social improvement in the way of architecture and the construction of railways, so also do these changes and alterations bear dark events in their train, and herald the advent of ) misery ta many a etnall but flourishing honest end, esed bear the mandate ,of dcora to the poor men's gimple but convenient habitation. Go where we will se e must meet with the traces of these things, Ind hear the complaints made by the unfortunate i a di v ;neats who are driven forth few know where, , and fewer still care. This is not as it should be, and the political economist who understands his science will recognise the inadvisability of the es ,urea now being pursued so recklessly and at so ge eat an extent. The sufferings and inconveniences to which the lower orders have been put by the in 'l2 itahe for erection rail of wnysthotahtehras spread in all directions, an d publ ic osli t worksis, n andn o t lo bui Idinga in all imaginable c' sibe . 7be overrated, T oo much canno t possibly be lec a large on all sides to obviate as far as practicsble the spree, lof ruin and dejection that threatens to ov ere run a il active and industrious population, an Cali se a return to some of the worst evils of that state of neglect from which they have only so recently been in a great measure rescued. It was mentioned at the meeting that whole parishes of houses are being removed for the construction of railways and other " improvements," but yet no attempt, seems to be made to procure " decent houses" for those that are being swept away. The best proof that could possibly ba furnished of the desirability of this company being formed consists in the fact that was mentioned at the meeting that numerous applications have already been made for the " dwellings," although the buildings are not yet roofed in. This circumstance should unquestionably impart confidence to those who are as yet but lookers on at the scheme, and take no active part in its prosecution. There is everything to recommend an immediate attention to the claims of this society on public support. The prcfit is almost certain, and the philanthropic nature of the scheme is beyond all praise. It is incumbent upon those who are possessed of sufficient means to do what they can in the way of providing for the pressing necessities and urgent wants of their fellow-brethren ; and, sad as are the cases of absolute distress, it is in a great measure more incumbent upon us to take care of those who are bordering on the precipice, and in a short time will be driven over into the gulf of ruin beneath. A timely hand stretched out, a friend in need, may often prove the turning points in the career of many. It is not charity that is here sought, but assistance that is immediately required to enable She work now in full trim to go on prcspering. Those diOcult first steps have been taken which are too often the beginning and the end of fair-seeming enterprises, and thus the timid and doubtful have not the very plausible excuse in their power of say ing that they are afraid it will not do so well in practice as in theory, and that they must reserve their judgment until a more fitting opportunity. The board very wisely suggest to the members that they should use their efforts to induce their friends to take up the remainder of the capital of the com pany without delay. The reasons for this are ob vious, because there °Len occur opportunities for obtaining advantageous sites, but the Board hesi tate to purchase more land unless they hems a larger capital. There is every reason to hope tempt due attention will be paid to this suggestion, and the• this excellent undertaking will not be allowed to languish for want of the right means for carrying out to the fall entirety its plans and purposes. That something decieive must be done has long been ad mitted on all aides, and it seems only the practice of a wise forethought that induces these members of the Company to undertake in time what must be fore very long be sine by some means or other. It will be quite impossible to neest this question of the dwellings of the working classes with the indifference that so often pervades the social ques tions of the day. The mischief will speead like w ildfire—fiver, disease, and miseries of all Linde will supervene if the poor are left to remain in crowded dwellings, with hardly any their c.'oßed, appliance 3 for decency or comfort, and often pay ing an extsstvagant price fer their miserable loca tions. It is af more especial importance, tco, to pay all possible heed to this subject, on account of there being the certainty that as time passes all these evils of oversceovvAing will increase, instead of diminishing: The improvements of modern science, and the new aspect binge are assuming in all directions, tend to militate, very consider ably, against the chances of the poor being left in peace, or even undisturbed in their hardships. A company of this class may, in some sort, be re• garded as partly a national institution, for it pro- vides fur a great want of the community, and in some degree finds a remedy fur a great and pressing evil. Every inducement, then, seems to invite us pay special heed to the unslcrtaking of such an establishment, and it is earnestly to be trusted that it will go on and prosper, and that succeed ing years will find it advancing in usefaluesF, while the more pressing and painful demand for its agency shall cease, through better arrange. ments and the progress of improvements. HENRY PHILLIPS AND THE YANKEE MUSIC SELLER.—I had had written beforehand, as was my custom to make all the preliminary arrangements, and arrived about twelve o'clock in the day. The person who kept the music store was to lend me a piano forte on hire, and had promised it should be on the platform, with a music stool, not later than four o'clock in the afternoon. Knowing how dilatory men of business aro in these hot climates, I always took the precaution of ordering every thing some hours sooner than was necessary. I went to the rooms at five o'clock, but no instrument had arrived. Six o'clock, still no pianoforte. Half past—no signs of such a thing. I locked down the long avenue leading to the store, hut there was nothing on the way. Seven o'clock approached ; and hot as the evening was, 1 resolved to go down to the store and inquire the cause, as in another half hour my audience would be arriving. About a quarter of a mile down the road I saw a little knot of negroes carrying a.mething that resembled a square pianoforte. By the time I came up with them they had laid it flat on the ground, and some six niggers were sitting on it. Another nigger was carrying two of the legs, a second two more, and a third the music-stool. The six were wiping their foreheads, and telling all sorts of stories, when I asked, " Is that pianoforte for the concert-room tonight ?" " Yes, massa," replied one. " Then why don't you take it ?" I sail. "It ought to have been there two hours since," " It's bar heavy," re plied my friend. " We'll get on de track presently.' " Very well," said I, shaking my finger at them, " I'll complain to your master ;" and in a raging fever I reached the music store. There stood the proprietor, picking his teeth with his penknife. He was a till, thin-faced man, all bone and muscle. I was red with rage when I dashed irsto the shop and said, " What does all this mean ?" " What do you allude to, atrangeri?" he replied, in the coolest manner conceivable. Speaking rapidly, I con tinu&td, " You said my pianoforte should be in the room at boar o'clock; it's now past seven, and your niggers ars now sitting down on it in the street. It has put me in a fever of rage and disappointment. My auditors are coming. Those lazy brutes won't stir, and you ought to have seen them off three hours since. It's scandalous I shameful! abominable I How am I to sing after this ? What excuse can you make ? " All this time he stood with his arms folded, looking coolly at me ; and while I was waiting a moment to take breath and renew the attack, he said, "Well, stranger, have you done ?" I hesitated for an instant, and said " Yes." " Look you here, then," said he, "This is our mode of doing business; if you don't like it, move the pi-a-no forte yourself." This philo sophical mode of treating and looking at the matter put a stop to all argument, so I hastened back, and sang well to a very good a udience.-11/usicalan:l Personal Recollections of _Henry Phillips. FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting a paper was received from M. Valz, the astronomer at Marseilles, in which he stated the elements of the new comet as follows :—Passage through perihelion September 7.05 mean time of Marseilles ; perihelion die • tance, 0.823 ; longitude of perihelion, 289.37 degrees ; right ascension, 66.56 dog. ; inclination, 1.45 deg. ; motion, re trograde.—Dr Nelaton communicated a paper on the de struction of tumours by an electrolytic method, applicable to cases in which the tumour is deeply seated and inacces s.'ble to ordinary instruments. The case quoted by him was a .mso-pharyngian polypus, which was elect/'o-chemically destroyed by inserting two platinum pins into its mass, and making them communice.to with the polca of a Bunsen's pile, consisting of 9 elements 16 centimetre in height by 8 in diameter, aid arranged for tension. the tumour Nt7,6 destroyed is six sittings, without any effusion of blood, and with very little pain. A paper was received from M. Pisani on the chemical composition o the aerolith which fell at Orgueil on ijay 14 last. He states that all the specimens of this aerolitlr do not present the same state of cohesion, but that they are all of spongy texrare, and all eagerly absorb water. M. ilenri S:e. Claire Deville Communicated farther researches on the penetrability of iron. Our readers ra ay recollect that ;n a previous paper this eminent chemist had shown that hydrogen contained in an iron tube will ()en through its pore's if heat be apLlied, a fact easily explained by the expansion of the metal consequent upon an increase of temperature. ,In the present case Al. Deville introduced an iron tube inter a porcelain one, so as to form as empty cylindrical space between the two ; closed at both ends. lie then filled both the inner and outer spaces with nitrogen, and heated the apparatus, after which he caused h tu y b d e r . oge o n n to an p a a l s yg s s i i n n to the annular space, taking care to mea sure the pressure, which soon became doubled in the iron the gas contained in the l atter, he y regel i and nitrogen, th e former in by far greater quantity th a n the latter, besides a little found it to Consist of hd oxide of carbon, This shows tha,t the hydrogep had pene trated through the tube. IliE SITY,' LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1864. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LREIITER'S TELEGRAMS.] Pll ANC E. PARIS, JULY 26 (Morning). Orders have been given in the military ports to despatch the necessary ships to Mexico to bring back the troops that are to return from that coun try. The ships will leave France early in August. The Paris journals continue to remark on the Imperial decree for reorganising the administration in Algeria, but in general their observations are of a pale, undecided character, and certainly far in ferior in energy of expression to the almost hostile extracts which we have given from the Opinion Nationale and the Gazette de France. Thus, for instance, the Monde merely says :—" One thing seems clear—that Algeria is returning to military government. So long as there is no serious plan of colonisation, w© shall be perpetually oscillating. We aro even ignorant of what the prefects do in Algeria, and what they have to administer. The Nation sums up its opinion in these words : " There is nothing changed in Algeria—there is only a prefect the more, and the military supre macy is more firmly established than ever." The Patrie confines itself to showing that the consider able changes introduced into the regime of Algeria have for object to assure the complete predominance of the military element. The Debats makes the following observations :—" There are two impor tant points which must be considered in any dis cussion on Algeria. In the first place Algeria is not purely and simply a colony founded, like the English ones, by a free move ment of emigration, developed by the in dividual initiative of a few enterprising men ; it ie, above all, a coecieest to which the mother country has devoted too much of her wealth and of her most precious blood not to have the right to retain, so long as shed may think proper, the supreme direction of its goverement. In the second place, Algeria is not, like Bourbon and the Antiles, peo pled exclusively with one race, that of resident Europeans; it is occupied by two nations, differing in origin and religion, ono of which, having long been master of the soil, only submitted to France on certain specified conditions, after obtaining the solemn premise that its property, customs, and laws should be respected by the conqueror. It appears to us that too little attention is paid to this double character peculiar to our possessions in the North of Africa by these who compare the institutions given by England to Australia and even to Canada with the i ns itutioes which have at different times obtained in Alge.ll.e. and who prete nd to draw decisive argil. menta from comparison of objects and situations so widely different." The Presse declares that is'an seedily understand Marshal Randon'a scruples relatis'e' to the system of duality, the unfortunate dl cts of which he bears witness to; that journal has little confidence in the union of the civil with the military regime. " Either one or the other," it says, "should be adopted." Still the I'tesse has ingeniously dis covered a method to do witheet either. It is almost prepared to look upon the inefficiency of all the systems as en argument against the occupation itself!" Tne work which France commenced in 1830, and which she has been steadily p e esuing for the last 31 years should therefore be abanclo: , ;! - A.

His Holiness proceeded to the central railway station, where he WAS rzceival by the Commander, Baron Baldini, Minister of Commerce and Public Works, and congratulated by General de Monte bello.

At half-past five the Holy Father took his place in the train with the prelates of his household, and went as far as Frattochia, where his carriage awaited him. The Holy Father arrived at Castel Gandolfo at seven in the evening, and was received at the church of the pariah by Cardinal Alfieri, Bishop of Albano. His Holiness crossed the square before the church to the Pontifical palace on foot, in company with Cardinals di Pietro and de Sil vestri, amidst the acclamations of the crowd." GERMANY AND DENMARK, (From the limes' Correspondent) VIENNA, July 23. M. Vora Bismark arrived here at 3 o'clock in the I Colonel Kaufm ann , who Den mark in the Conference, afternoon of ye s t e rday, and M . von Quaade and a re to represent Ar e now on their way from Copenhagen to this city. A strong-willed and energetic statesman being a rarity in Germany, it was expected th a t many of the p olitical q uidn unes of Vienna w ou ld go t o tho railway terminus to see, if not to welcome , the man "of blood and iron ;" but such was not the case. Baron Werther, who is well known to the Viennese, received M. von Bismark on hie arrival, and took him to the Prussian Legation, bat few of the persons whom they met in the streets turned to look at the man who by superior ability and force of will has succeeded in making Austria subservient to Prussia- In the evening the Prussian statesman 'went with Baron Werther and Count Rechbsrg to the Volksgarten, where Strauss's baud was pl a ying, and this morning he had an au dience of his Majesty the Emperor. Before von Bie mark left Carlsbad he had a conference with Prince Gortschakoff, and they are said to have come to the conclusion that, if the German Diet had to decide on the question relative to the right of succeseion, the Grand Dike of o.denburg would have little or ro chance of reigning over Schleswig Holstein. AI has repeatedly been said, the Austrian Government wishes for peace, but Count iteehberg is so entirely in the power of his Prussian colleague that he will hardly fail to obey his high behests. The conditions which Prussia n o w intends to make are in substance as folio W&;--1. The complete separation of Schles wig-Holstein and Lauenburg from Danmark. 2. The said countries, including certain districts on this side of the Konigs-au, which at present belong to Jutland, to form a State, which shall be goo vorned by a Prince the validity of whose claims to the throne have been recognised by a Federal Court of Justice. 3. ltendsburg to be a Federal for tress, and Kiel, or some other sea-port in Schlet;wig- Holstein, to be a Federal war-port. 4. Prussia to indemnify Austria for her outlay during the war, and to leave her troops in Schleswig until her own expenses (which are estimated at about 20,000;000 , of dollars) have been paid out of the surplus revenue of the Duchy, which is to be collected by Prussian officials. 5. The Duchy of Holstein to defray the expenses arising from the Federal execution. 6, When all the expenses incurred by the German Powers in the Duehies have been defrayed, Schles wig and Holstein are to be definitively united and placed under the sceptre of the Duke or Prince whose claims may have been recognized by the German Band. Though not able to assert that the foregoing pro gramme is perfectly correct, I must needs believe it to be so, as men in office profess to be astonished at the " audacity" of the Prussian Minister. Pres ident. Success has made M. von Bismark vainglo• rious, and doubtless he flatters himself that sooner or later he shall be able to incorporate the Duchies with Prussia. The French Government has recently advised the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs to be indulgent towards Denmark, but he takes so little notice of the communications received from M. Drouyn de Lbuys that people are greatly dis posed to think there is a secret understandirg be tween him and that subtle politician who, having obtained Faucigny and Nice, covets a part, if not the whole, of the left bank of the Rhine. The sitting held by the German Diet on Thurs day last was a very animated one. Austria and Prussia proposed that the Duke of Augustenburg should be called on to establish his hereditary claims to the throne of Schleswig Holstein, and the motion was carried by a majority of 11 voices, or " curie," to five. Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtemberg, Darmstadt, and the 13th " curie" (Brunswick and Nassau) opposed the motion, because, in their opi nion, the validity of the claims of Duke Frederick, of Augustenburg had already been substantiated. The 12th " curie" (the Saxon houses) voted with Austria and Prussia, but it at the same time de clared the claims of the Duke of Augustenburg to be indisputable. During the sitting a telegram was received from General Hake, in which is was said that Prince Frederic Charles of Prussia was about to take possession of Rendsburg. General Hake, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal forces in Holstein, further stated, that in order to avoid a bloody conflict we should withdraw the Saxon and Hanoverian troops from Rendsbarg. In general the members of the German Diet take things very easily, but on Thursday they were thoroughly roused. They expressed approval of General Hake's intention to avoid a conflict, but ordered him formally to protest against the violent and illegal conduct of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied forces. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This yay.) COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) WILLIAMS V. WILLIAMS.-JUDGMENT. Sir J. P. Wilde delivered judgment in this case this morning, which WL3 a suit by the wife for a dissolution cf marriage, on the ground of her husband's adultery and desertion without reasonable cause, and it appeared that both were in domestic service. The learned judge said that it was not easy in all cases to dee'de what constituted deser tion as the circumstances in which the parties were placed must affect their cohabitation as man and wife. Marital intercourse was interrupted in the cases of persons engaged in the army and navy, in many eases in commercial enter prise, where the husband was compelled to leave the country, and more particularly in cases like the present, where the parties were engaged as domestic servants. It appeared that the parties were married several years ago, and lived together for some time, during which they got into business but failed, after which they both returned to see vice. The husband visited his wife very frequently, and afterwards, according to his statement, as often as the nature of his duties would permit, The period of their ceasing to live under the same roof was about twelve years, and all that time the respondent's viers were continued regularly. It had been utged by the petitioner that she had acquired means sufficient to enable them to resume business and cohabitation, hut the respondent's refusal to accede to her proposition to go into business again could not be con strued into desertion, as he might reasonably have doubted of his success in business atter the former failure, and therefore might be induced to hesitate before he cm ba-ked in trade again. It was also urged that he cohabited with another woman, but as he continued his visite to the petitioner, this could not be called desertion. Ho came therefore to the conclusion that the husband had not deserted his wife without reasonable cause—hut on his conviction of his having committed adultery, he would I grant to the petitioner a decree of judicial separation. liAmuoTT, FALSELY CALLED BURGESS V, BURGESS, JUDGMENT. is this case the wife prayed for a decree of nullity of :earriaje, and the question on which the Court reserved judgment m - L ,- .5 whether there had been unreasonable delay is „ mm „ c i zig tlc slit, end whether it had been promoted for an indirect °Eject. The pertier were together from 1853 to 1863, and during that time - there was no Cotnpititnt. however, a quarrel arose relative to a servant boy, which appear:A to have led to these proceedings by the petitioner, and under the circumstances ho felt bound to dismiss the petition. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, (Before Mr Commissioner Goulbure,) IN RE FREDERICK TAYLOR. Mr Sargood called attention to this case, in which an application was made for his Honour's sanction to a criminal prosecution, and his Honour had intimated that he would look over the papers. His Honour said ho had not yet done so, but he was still of opinion that he ought not to interfere until the party charged had been taken before a magistrate, which would form some guide for him to come to a decision. Mr Sargood said that he was aware of his Honour's general opinion on that point—it was a question of costs. His Honour said that the expense of going before the magistrate would bo very slight. It did not require his authority to do so. Mr Sargood said that after such an intimation he would say no more at present. IN RE IVILSON. This bankrupt was described as a timber merchant, of Belvidere-road, Lambeth, and this was an application to dismiss the petition, which was filed by the bankrupt, on the ground that the debts exceeded £3OO, Mr Fairhead having claimed £2OO on what he alleged to be an accom modation bill given to the bankrupt and taken up by Fairhead. The bankrupt, however, swore that the bill was given for a half share in the profits of a patent for a "shield ship" (the nature of which was not explained), The bankrupt and Mr Fairhead were examined, and his honour considered that the debt had been proved, and re fused to allow the schedule to be amended by the insertion of the debt and additional stamps to be affixed to the petition, The petition was therefore dismissed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, BOW STREET. A QUEER COSTUME.—A miserable looking elderly man, named Henry Sanders, wearing no coat, but a very dirty and ragged light waistcoat and red shirt, and with the battered remains of what had once been a hat, stuck on one side of the head, was charged with stealing a coat. On being placed in the dock, the prisoner, at the jailor's suggestion, but somewhat reluctantly, took off his hat, and stuck out his elbow in a grotesque fashion, having the hat thereon. _ _ _ The prisoner was at once recognised by the officers of the court as having on former occasions been charged at this court with various offences, arising more from eccentricity than deliberate dishonesty. He appears to have suffered terribly from poverty and dissipation, and is thought to be hardly capable of taking care cf himself. Alderman, one of the beadles of Covent-garden Market, said the prisoner was brought t 3 this court a few days ago for stealing flowers in the market, Some of his friends then promised that he should be removed to the workhouse to be taken care of, but that had not been done. George Thorp, a salesman in the market, stated that on Friday he saw the prisoner hanging about his stand, and a few minutes afterwards ha missed a coat belonging to his brother. It was lying en the stand within reach of any one standing by. The Prisoner—A strange place to leave a coat, Ono I would think you wanted it taken. Mr Thorpe went on to say that the prisonerhad been seen lounging about the market every day, but wilhout thecoat, and thou he was suspected, there appeared not sufficient proof to justify his apprehension, tilt this morning, when witness saw him v i• la the coat on, and gave him in custody, The prisoner —I had been unfortunate and had had my own coat torn from my back, and I was very cold. I saw the coat lying about as if it did not belong to any one, and it was a temptation. Win. Thorpe, brother of former witness, said the coat was his property, and worth lOs ; when he left it on the stand there was a halfcrown in the pocket, The prisoner—There was no halfcrown in it, I will swear, If there had been I sktiuld have spent it. (A laugh.) That is a fabrication, Witness—There was a halfcrown, and I have no doubt you did spend it. The prisoner —I should have been glad of it. I was very hard up. I was hungry. I had no bed. But you must be a very foolish fellow to leave your money in your coat. Mr Flowers—Well I suppose you don't dispute that it was foolish Witness (laughing)—No, 1 don't say that. The Prisoner-114)ml' t you a purse, or a waisteoai always use my waistcoat pocket to keep my money in. (A laugh), For my part I think a purse a very unessential thing. (A laugh). I never require a purse. (Laughter). He was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SINGULAR REQUEST,—Two urchins, named Dennis Healey and John Driscoll, living in St, Giles, were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with picking the pocket of a female named Flasman. Thomas Humphreys, of No. 3, Brownlow-street, said that about 10 o'clock that morning he was in Denmark street, when he saw a female (Mrs Flaxman) on the wheel of a van, in which there were a number of children going for an excursion. He observed Healey feeling the female's dress, Driscoll standing close by Healey at the time. The boys suddenly ran away, and hearing the female had been robbed, he pursued them into Queen .street, Dean-street, where he saw the purse produced dropped by one of them, but he could not say which, Mrs Fiaxman identified the purse and contents as her property, Mr Tyrwhitt—Do the boys want to say anything ? Healey—Yes, we wants three years. Mr Tyrwhitt—lt is a rather extraordinary request ; but I think under the circumstances it would be about as good a thing as could be done, and with that view I shall remand them for a week, when their parents can attend. The boys, who seemed very pleased at the result, were then remanded. ASSAULTING AND THREATENING A I'ROSECUTRIX. Elizabeth M`Donald, a young woman, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt on a warrant with assaulting and threatening a young woman named Minnie Wilson. The complainant was prosecutrix in April last of a man named Howard, the keeper of a night house in the Hay market, for taking her away from her father's house, she being under the age of 16 at the time. Howard was tried at the Central Criminal Court, convicted, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. The complainant said that in April last, and while Howard's trial was pending, the prisoner came up to her in Russell-street, about 8 o'clock in the evening, and said, " I will have your life it you appear against Howard," at the same time striking her in a most violent manner, and giving her a frightful black eye, and knocking her down senseless. She applied to Mr Knox, the magistrate who was then sitting, and he granted the warrant against the prisoner. Mr Tyrwhitt asked how it was that the warrant was not executed before. Davey, 66 C, one of the warrant officers, said that not knowing where the prisoner resided, he was unable to find the prisoner till last night. Mr Tyrwhitt inquired of the complainant if the prisoner had dono anything to her since April. The complainant said that on Saturday morning last she was passing the end of St. Martin-street with a gentleman, when the prisoner took out a knife and exclaimed, " You -, I mean to have your life," at the same time making a stab, which the gentleman received on lig! arm, The prisoner said the complainant was living with the person she formerly lived with. She had no wish to hurt the complainant. Mr Tyrwhitt thought if what the prisoner said was true it was very likely she had an ill-feeling towards the com plainant, and he should therefore order her to find one hi] to keep the peace towards the complainant for two months. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.— Patrick Hagan, a powerfu tallow, was charged with the following disgraceful con• duct :-- Mrs Bullock, the wife of the proprietor of the Wiltshire Brewery, Simmond-street, Chelsea, said that she knew the defendant, whom she had been obliged to charge at this court with misconduct a couple of years ago. He had been to the house two or three times since, but she had inva riably refused to serve him. Last night he came with some others and called for drink, but she refused to give it them for two reasons, firstly, because they were drunk, and, se condly, because they were with him. They then went into one of the public rooms, and on hearing a great noise she went to the spot and found they bad done a great deal of malicious damage, for which she now sought recompense. Mr Arnold asked whether she could prove that the de fendant did any of it ? Mrs Bullock replied that when she entered the room she found the gas fittings, which had been torn down, in the defendant's hand, the door had beer- broken and the defend ant and his companions were preparing to burn a box. Mr Arnold inquired whether they gave any reason for this unlawful and disgraceful conduct. Mrs Bullock replied that the only reason that could be assigned for it was that she would not serve them. The defendant seized a quart pot and threatened to dash her brains out, and she was obliged to leave, fearing ho would carry his threat into execution. A police constable proved that after committing the daruage in question the defendant and his companions left the house. From informaticn received ho apprehended the defendant shortly afterwards. Defendant denied the charge, and said he could call the other men who Nsere with him as witnesses. Mr Arnold sail he would give him an opportunity o doing so, and remanded him. TIIAMES. Tilt Win) BULL—BRUTAL ASSAULT.—MichaeI Clark, a stevedore, better known as the Wild Bull, a rough, brutal fellow, was brought before Mr Paget charged with savagely assaulting William Horner, a police constable No. 28 H. It appeared that last night the prisoner was intoxicated, and quarrelled with a woman in Back Church-lane, White chapel. He struck her, and knocked her head through a pane of glass in the shop window of a woman named Sophia Mackay, who went out and gave prisoner into the custody of the complainant Horner. The constable advised the prisoner to pay for the window he had broken and go home. The prisoner resented this good advice by striking the policeman, and then running at him " full butt like a wild bull," which was explained that prisoner ran against the constable, and forced his head against his stomach. This novel mode of attack injured the policeman very much, awl " took the wind out of him." The prisoner then jumped on the constable's back, threw him down, and kicked him several times. The cobstable got up and was again thrown. This was repeated five or six times, Horner would have been subdued if another police constable named George Plutfield, No. 188 11, had not come to his assistance. There was as rough mob of dis orderies and loose women always to be found in Back Church-lane, who encouraged the "wild bull" to beat the constable. In answer to Mr Paget, the policeman Horner said he had been to the doctor, and was in great pain. He was severely bruised. _ . The prisoner, in defence, said he was torn to pieces by the police. Mr Paget—No, you were not. The prisoner—He cut my head with a stall, and poked his staff in my eye. Mr Paget directed one of the officers of the court to examine the prisoner's head, which he did very minutely, and said there was no mark on it. Mr Paget questioned the constables, who said no staff was drawn. Mr Paget said if a policeman's staff had been poked into the prisoner's eye, there would have been a mark on it. There was none. The prisoner had been guilty of a brutal assault, for which he sentenced him to two months' impri sonment and hard labour, and seven days' imprisonment, in addition, for the damage he had done.

P.Y.C. en th e s p o t i s marked and last three months' d e li ver y 43 s Gaper cwt. The Correctional Tribunal of Douai last week tried M. Scherzer, stationmaster of the Northern Railway at that place, on a charge of having infringed the privileges of the post-office. N. Legros, a printer at Douai, having been employed by M. Deruelle, a merchant of Arras, to print a nurz.ber of circulars, he executed the order and sin , them to M. Deruelle in a parcel by railway. The post-office authorities, considering the conveyance of these papers as an infringement of the law which gives them the sole right of such carrying, commenced proceedings against the sta tionmaster, but the Tribunal, after hearing counsel, decided that the circulars thus sent from a printer to his employer were merely a bale of goods, which might be legally carried by any person, and accordingly acquitted the defendant. The Paris corn-market has been -inactive during the past week, with scarcely any change in quota tions. The four marks of flour remain at 53f 50e the sack of 157 kilos.
